  • The world’s largest weekly metaverse event, is determined to capitalize on this trend by paving the way for brands to establish a presence in virtual reality. The project has unveiled a new multi-chain platform to connect established and emerging brands with the top builders in the metaverse.
  • Having recently closed a $2.5m seed round, SandStorm will debut the beta version of its live platform and NFT marketplace at next week’s South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas.
  • Built on the Polygon and Ethereum blockchains, the platform enables brands that have yet to make their presence felt in the metaverse search through a directory containing hundreds of verified Web3 builders. SandStorm will also provide white-glove service to bring brands into the metaverse and build experiences for them within popular open-world environments such as The Sandbox.
  • “As a growing number of brands are entering the metaverse through The Sandbox, we’re seeing an increased need for a platform to connect them to Builders, Agencies, Architects, Designers, Community Managers and thousands of providers in this open ecosystem,” says the game’s co-founder and COO Sebastian Borget, who invested in SandStorm’s recent seed round alongside a swathe of VC funds.
  • “SandStorm offers a decentralized solution for matching these needs and providing visibility to projects through meet-ups and social events in the metaverse.”

Gentlemencare

Co-Founder and Chief Encouragement Officer

  • GentlemenCare is a 1930’s retro-fit premium men’s accessory label. Our goals are to provide the highest quality premium men’s accessory items at a reasonable price, while at the same time, aim to bring back the chivalrous, charismatic, and philanthropic qualities that we believe our generation lacks. We believe the modern day definition of a gentleman tends to be more focused on appearance, and less focused on the chutzpa that the chivalrous man once had.
  • Our intent is to invoke customers to give back to their community and in return, receive the satisfaction of performing a philanthropic act. We believe that seeing the direct impact of your actions increases the likelihood that you will repeat them. We intend to drive community growth in our social media / marketing outlets by labeling these actions “The Gentlemen Act”, and urge men to share their stories with each other. GC will build a growing community of men, both young and old, that share the same passion and care for others that we do.
  • We have big plans for 2016 and we hope you want to be a part of it. - GC
